Definitions
- This invention relates to growth factors for endothelial cells, and in particular to a novel vascular endothelial growth factor, DNA encoding the factor, and to pharmaceutical and diagnostic compositions and methods utilize or derived from the factor.
- Angiogenesis is a fundamental process required for normal growth and development of tissues, and involves the proliferation of new capillaries from pre-existing blood vessels.
- Angiogenesis is not only involved in embryonic development and normal tissue growth, repair, and regeneration, but is also involved in the female reproductive cycle, establishment and maintenance of pregnancy, and in repair of wounds and fractures.
- angiogenic events are involved in a number of pathological processes, notably tumor growth and metastasis, and other conditions in which blood vessel proliferation, especially of the microvascular system, is increased, such as diabetic retinopathy, psoriasis and arthropathies. Inhibition of angiogenesis is useful in preventing or alleviating these pathological processes.
- promotion of angiogenesis is desirable in situations where vascularization is to be established or extended, for example after tissue or organ transplantation, or to stimulate establishment of collateral circulation in tissue infarction or arterial stenosis, such as in coronary heart disease and thromboangitis obliterans.

- VEGF-B three further members of the VEGF family have been identified. These are designated VEGF-B, described in International Patent Application No. PCT/US96/02957 (WO 96/26736) by Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research and The University of Helsinki, VEGF-C, described in Joukov et al, The EMBO Journal, 1996 15 290-298, and VEGF2, described in International Patent Application No. PCT/US94/05291 (WO 95/24473) by Human Genome Sciences, Inc. VEGF-B has closely similar angiogenic and other properties to those of VEGF, but is distributed and expressed in tissues differently from VEGF.
- VEGF-B is very strongly expressed in heart, and only weakly in lung, whereas the reverse is the case for VEGF. This suggests that VEGF and VEGF-B, despite the fact that they are co-expressed in many tissues, may have functional differences.
- VEGF-B was isolated using a yeast co-hybrid interaction trap screening technique, screening for cellular proteins which might interact with cellular retinoic acid-binding protein type I (CRABP-I). Its isolation and characteristics are described in detail in PCT/US96/02597 and in Olofsson et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 1996 93 2576-2581.
- CRABP-I retinoic acid-binding protein type I
- VEGF-C was isolated from conditioned media of PC-3 prostate adenocarcinoma cell line (CRL1435) by screening for ability of the medium to produce tyrosine phosphorylation of the endothelial cell-specific receptor tyrosine kinase Flt4, using cells transfected to express Flt4.
- VEGF-C was purified using affinity chromatography with recombinant Flt4, and was cloned from a PC-3 cDNA library. Its isolation and characteristics are described in detail in Joukov et al, The EMBO Journal, 1996 15 290-298.
- VEGF2 was isolated from a highly tumorgenic, oestrogen-independent human breast cancer cell line. While this molecule is stated to have about 22% homology to PDGF and 30% homology to VEGF, the method of isolation of the gene encoding VEGF2 is unclear, and no characterization of the biological activity is disclosed.
- Vascular endothelial growth factors appear to act by binding to receptor tyrosine kinases of the PDGF-receptor family.
- Five endothelial cell-specific receptor tyrosine kinases have been identified, namely Flt-1 (VEGFR-1), KDR/Flk-1 (VEGFR-2), Flt4 (VEGFR-3), Tie and Tek/Tie-2. All of these have the intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity which is necessary for signal transduction.
- the essential, specific role in vasculogenesis and angiogenesis of Flt-1, Flk-1, Tie and Tek/Tie-2 has been demonstrated by targeted mutations inactivating these receptors in mouse embryos.
- VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 bind VEGF with high affinity, and VEGFR-1 also binds VEGF-B and placenta growth factor (PlGF).
- VEGF-C has been shown to be the ligand for Flt4 (VEGFR-3), and also activates VEGFR-2 (Joukov et al, 1996).
- a ligand for Tek/Tie-2 has been described (International Patent Application No. PCT/US95/12935 (WO 96/11269) by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.); however, the ligand for Tie has not yet been identified.
- the receptor Flt-4 is expressed in venous and lymphatic endothelia in the fetus, and predominantly in lymphatic endothelia in the adult (Kaipainen et al, Cancer Res, 1994 54 6571-6577; Proc Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1995 92 3566-3570). It has been suggested that VEGF-C may have a primary function in lymphatic endothelium, and a secondary function in angiogenesis and permeability regulation which is shared with VEGF (Joukov et al, 1996).

- the nucleic acid molecule is a CDNA which comprises the sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 6 or SEQ ID NO: 7.
- This aspect of the invention also encompasses DNA molecules of sequence such that they hybridize under stringent conditions with DNA of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 6 or SEQ ID NO: 7.
- the DNA molecule able to hybridize under stringent conditions encodes the portion of VEGF-D from amino acid residue 93 to amino acid residue 201, optionally operatively linked to a DNA sequence encoding FLAGTM peptide.
- the cDNA comprises the sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 6 or SEQ ID NO: 7, more preferably that of SEQ ID NO: 4.
- the invention provides a polypeptide possessing the characteristic amino acid sequence:
- polypeptide having the ability to stimulate proliferation of endothelial cells, and said polypeptide comprising a sequence of amino acids substantially corresponding to the amino acid sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 3, or a fragment or analogue thereof which has the ability to stimulate one or more of endothelial cell proliferation, differentiation, migration or survival.

- polypeptides comprising conservative substitutions, insertions, or deletions, but which still retain the biological activity of VEGF-D, are clearly to be understood to be within the scope of the invention.
- the person skilled in the art will be well aware of methods which can readily be used to generate such polypeptides, for example the use of site-directed mutagenesis, or specific enzymatic cleavage and ligation.
- the skilled person will also be aware that peptidomimetic compounds or compounds in which one or more amino acid residues are replaced by a non-naturally occurring amino acid or an amino acid analog may retain the required aspects of the biological activity of VEGF-D.
- Such compounds can readily be made and tested by methods known in the art, and are also within the scope of the invention.
- variant forms of the VEGF-D polypeptide which result from alternative splicing, as are known to occur with VEGF, and naturally-occurring allelic variants of the nucleic acid sequence encoding VEGF-D are encompassed within the scope of the invention.
- Allelic variants are well known in the art, and represent alternative forms or a nucleic acid sequence which comprise substitution, deletion or addition of one or more nucleotides, but which do not result in any substantial functional alteration of the encoded polypeptide.

- the growth factors of the PDGF family including VEGF, are dimeric, and VEGF-B, VEGF-C, PlGF, PDGF-A and PDGF-B show complete conservation of 8 cysteine residues in the N-terminal domains, ie. the PDGF-like domains (Olofsson et al, 1996; Joukov et al, 1996).
- cysteines are thought to be involved in intra- and inter-molecular disulfide bonding. In addition there are further strongly, but not completely, conserved cysteine residues in the C-terminal domains. Loops 1, 2 and 3 of each subunit, which are formed by intra-molecular disulfide bonding, are involved in binding to the receptors for the PDGF/VEGF family of growth factors (Andersson et al: Growth Factors, 1995 12 159-164) As shown herein, the cysteines conserved in previously known members of the VEGF family are also conserved in VEGF-D.
- cysteine residues should be preserved in any proposed variant form, and that the active sites present in loops 1, 2 and 3 also should be preserved.
- other regions of the molecule can be expected to be of lesser importance for biological function, and therefore offer suitable targets for modification.
- Modified polypeptides can readily be tested for their ability to show the biological activity of VEGF-D by routine activity assay procedures such as cell proliferation tests.
- modified VEGF-D polypeptides will have the ability to bind to endothelial cells, ie. to VEGF-D receptors, but will be unable to stimulate endothelial cell proliferation, differentiation, migration or survival.
- modified polypeptides are expected to be able to act as competitive or non-competitive inhibitors of VEGF-D, and to be useful in situations where prevention or reduction of VEGF-D action is desirable.
- receptor-binding but non-mitogenic, non-differentiation inducing, non-migration inducing or non-survival promoting variants of VEGF-D are also within the scope of the invention, and are referred to herein as “receptor-binding but otherwise inactive variants”.

- the nucleic acid may be DNA, genomic DNA, cDNA or RNA, and may be single-stranded or double stranded.
- the nucleic acid may be isolated from a cell or tissue source, or of recombinant or synthetic origin.

- the invention provides diagnostic/prognostic device typically in the form of test kits.
- a diagnostic/prognostic test kit comprising an antibody to VEGF-D and means for detecting, and more preferably evaluating, binding between the antibody and VEGF-D.
- either the antibody or the VEGF-D is labeled with a detectable label, and either the antibody or the VEGF-D is substrate-bound, such that the VEGF-D-antibody interaction can be established by determining the amount of label attached to the substrate following binding between the antibody and the VEGF-D.
- the diagnostic/prognostic device may be provided as a conventional ELISA kit.
- the diagnostic/prognostic device may comprise polymerase chain reaction means for establishing the genomic sequence structure of a VEGF-D gene of a test individual and comparing this sequence structure with that disclosed in this application in order to detect any abnormalities, with a view to establishing whether any aberrations in VEGF-D expression are related to a given disease condition.

- the use of a vector of this type to inhibit VEGF-D expression is favor in instances where VEGF-D expression is associated with a disease, for example where tumors produce VEGF-D in order to provide for angiogenesis. Transformation of such tumour cells with a vector containing an anti-sense nucleotide sequence would suppress or retard angiogenesis, and so would inhibit or retard growth of the tumor.

- BAEs were treated with fraction #3 containing VEGFD ⁇ N ⁇ C and, as positive control, purified VEGF-A as described in the text.
- the result obtained using medium without added growth factor is denoted Medium Control.
- a computer search of nucleic acid databases was carried out incidentally to another project, using as search topics the amino acid sequences of VEGF, VEGF-B, VEGF-C and PlGF.
- Several cDNA sequences were identified by this search.
- One of these sequences GenBank Accession No. H24828, encoded a polypeptide which was similar in structure to the cysteine-riched C-terminal region of VEGF-C.
- This sequence was obtained from the database of expressed sequence tags (dbEST), and for the purposes of this specification is designated XPT.
- the XPT cDNA had been isolated from a human cDNA library designated “Soares Breast 3NbHBst”, which was constructed using mRNA from an adult human female breast tissue.
- the XPT sequence shown in the database was 419 nucleotides long, and encoded an amino acid sequence similar to the C-terminal 100 amino acids of VEGF-C, i.e. approximately residues 250 to 350, using the numbering system of Joukov et al (1996).
- cysteine-rich regions are found in other proteins, which are entirely unrelated in function to the VEGF family, for example the secreted silk-like protein sp185 synthesized in the salivary glands of the midge Chironomus tentans .
- This protein is encoded by the gene BR3, located in a Balbiani ring, a tissue specific chromosome “puff” found on polytene chromosomes in the midge salivary gland (Dignam and Case: Gene, 1990 88 133-140; Paulsson et al, J. Mol. Biol., 1990 211 331-349). It is stated in Joukov et al (1996) that the sp185-like structural motif in VEGF-C may fold into an independent domain, which is thought to be at least partially cleaved off after biosynthesis, and that there is at least one cysteine motif of the sp185 type in the C-terminal region of VEGF.
- FIG. 3 of Joukov et al shows that the last two-thirds of the C-terminal cysteine-rich region of VEGF-C do not align with VEGF or PlGF, and in fact could be considered a C-terminal extension of VEGF-C which is not present in VEGF or PlGF.
- the sequence encoded by XPT is similar to this extension. As the XPT cDNA was truncated at its 5′ end, it was not possible to deduce or predict any amino acid sequence for regions N-terminal to the cysteine-rich domain. Thus the portion of VEGF-C which is similar to the XPT-derived sequence does not extend to regions of VEGF-C which are conserved among other members of the VEGF family.
- the N-terminal region of the polypeptide encoded by a full-length XPT nucleic acid would show any further homology to any member of the VEGF family, in particular VEGF-C, which has a further N-terminal 250 amino acids.
- the naturally-occurring protein encoded by a full-length XPT nucleic acid could have been the human homolog of the midge salivary gland protein.
- the type of cysteine-rich motif encoded by truncated XPT cDNA could be widely distributed among proteins, as are many structural domains.
- clusters of cysteine residues may be involved in metal binding, formation of intramolecular disulfide bonds to promote accurate protein folding, or formation of intermolecular disulfide bonds for assembly of protein subunits into complexes (Dignam and Chase, 1990).
- truncated XPT cDNA was derived from sequences encoding a VEGF-related molecule, it was necessary to isolate a much longer cDNA.
- XPT cDNA reported in dbEST was obtained from the American Type Culture Collection, which is a registered supplier of cDNA clones obtained by the IMAGE Consortium. The identity of the XPT cDNA was confirmed by nucleotide sequencing, using the dideoxy chain termination method (Sanger et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1977 74 5463-5467).
- the XPT cDNA was used as a hybridization probe to screen a human breast cDNA library, which was obtained commercially from Clontech. One positive clone was isolated, and this clone was then sequenced on both strands. The nucleotide sequence was compiled, and an open reading frame was identified. The nucleic acid sequence is set out in SEQ ID NO: 1.
- the polypeptide encoded by this sequence was designated VEGF-D, and its deduced amino acid sequence, designated SEQ ID NO: 3, is set out in FIG. 3 .
- putative sites of N-linked glycosylation with the consensus sequence N-X-S/T in which X is any amino acid, are indicated by the boxes.
- VEGF-D The amino acid sequence of VEGF-D was compared with those of human VEGF-A 165 , VEGF-B, VEGF-C and PlGF. These comparisons are set out in FIGS. 1A-1D respectively. The degree of sequence homology was calculated, and if gaps in sequence introduced for the purposes of alignment are not considered in the calculation, VEGF-D is 31% identical to VEGF, 486 identical to VEGF-C, 28% identical to VEGF-B and 32% identical to PlGF. Thus the most closely-related protein identified was VEGF-C.
- VEGF-D Computer searches of the GenBank, EMBL and SwissProt nucleic acid databases did not reveal any protein sequences identical to VEGF-D. As expected from the sequence alignment referred to above, the most closely related protein found in these databases was VEGF-C. Searches of dbEST were also performed, but did not reveal any sequences encompassing the entire coding region of VEGF-D. The sequence of VEGF-D is unrelated to that of Tie-2 ligand 1 as disclosed in WO 96/11269.
- VEGF-D appears to be most closely related to VEGF-C of all the members of the VEGF family. Because the VEGF-D amino acid sequence includes the cysteine-rich sp185-like motif which is found in VEGF-C, the polypeptide of the invention may play an important functional role in lymphatic endothelia. While we do not wish to be bound by any proposed mechanism, it is thought that VEGF-C and VEGF-D may constitute a silk-like matrix over which endothelial cells can grow. Lymphatic vessels have no basement membrane, so the silk-like matrix can form a basement membrane-like material. This may be important in promoting cell growth and/or in cell differentiation, and may be relevant to cancer, especially metastasis, drug therapy, cancer prognosis, etc.
- the cDNA sequence of VEGF-D was used to predict the deduced amino acid sequence of VEGF-D, the biochemical characteristics of the encoded polypeptide, including the numbers of strongly basic, strongly acidic, hydrophobic and polar amino acids, the molecular weight, the isoelectric point, the charge at pH 7, and the compositional analysis of the whole protein. This analysis was performed using the Protean protein analysis program, Version 1.20 (DATASTAR). These results are summarized in Tables 1 and 2 below. Table 1 also shows the codon usage.
- Average Length/Sequence 354 bases
- This analysis predicts a molecular weight for the unprocessed VEGF-D monomer of 37 kilodaltons (kD), compared to the experimentally determined values (for the fully processes peptides) of 20 to 27 kD for VEGF-A monomers, 21 kD for the VEGF-B monomer and 23 kD for the VEGF-C monomer.
- Example 2 The original isolation of a cDNA for VEGF-D, described in Example 2 involved hybridization screening of a human breast cDNA library. As only one cDNA clone for VEGF-D was thus isolated, it was not possible to confirm the structure of the cDNA by comparison with other independently isolated VEGF-D cDNAs.
- the work described in this example which involved isolation of additional human VEGF-D cDNA clones, was carried out in order to confirm the structure of human VEGF-D cDNA. In addition, mouse VEGF-D cDNA clones were isolated.
- cDNA libraries which had been obtained commercially from Stratagene, one for human lung and one for mouse lung (catalogue numbers 937210 and 936307, respectively) were used for hybridization screening with a VEGF-D cDNA probe.
- the probe which spanned from nucleotides 1817 to 2495 of the cDNA for human VEGF-D described in Example 2, was generated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using a plasmid containing the VEGF-D cDNA as template and the following two oligonucleotides:
- the two cDNAs contained the entire coding region for human VEGF-D, and were identical except that one of the clones was five nucleotides longer than the other at the 5′-terminus.
- the nucleotide sequence of the shorter cDNA is shown in FIG. 4, and is designated SEQ ID NO: 4.
- the amino acid sequence for human VEGF-D (hVEGF-D) deduced from this cDNA was 354 residues long, and is shown in FIG. 5; this is designated SEQ ID NO: 5.
- sequences of the 5′ regions of five of the other human VEGF-D cDNA clones were also determined. For each clone, the sequence that was characterized contained more than 100 nucleotides of DNA immediately downstream from the translation start site of the coding region. In all cases, the sequences of these regions were identical to corresponding regions of the human VEGF-D cDNA shown in FIG. 4 .
- VEGF-D Three of the four truncated cDNAs for mouse VEGF-D encoded the C-terminal region, but not the N-terminal 50 amino acids. All three of these cDNAs encoded a C-terminal end for VEGF-D which is identical to that for mVEGF-D2. The other truncated cDNA encoded only the N-terminal half of VEGF-D.
- the amino acid sequence deduced from this cDNA contained the five amino acids DFSFE immediately after residue 30 found in mVEGF-D1, but not in mVEGF-D2.
- the entire sequence of the human VEGF-D cDNA clone reported in this example has been validated by comparison with that for a second human clone.
- the sequence of the 5′ end of the coding region was found to be identical in five other human VEGF-D cDNA clones.
- the sequence reported in Example 2 contained most of the coding region for VEGF-D, but was incorrect near the 5′-end of this region.
- VEGF-D cDNA was truncated near the 5′-end of the coding region and at that point had been ligated with another unidentified cDNA, and consequently the first 30 codons of the true coding sequence for VEGF-D had been deleted and replaced with a methionine residue.
- This methionine residue was defined as the N-terminal amino acid of the VEGF-D sequence presented in Example 2.
- the N-terminal regions of the deduced amino acid sequences of mouse VEGF-D1 and VEGF-D2 are very similar to that deduced for human VEGF-D (see FIG. 9 ). This also indicates that the correct deduced amino acid sequence for human VEGF-D is reported in this example.
- the N-terminal 25 amino acids of human VEGF-D form an extremely hydrophobic region, which is consistent with the notion that part of this region may be a signal sequence for protein secretion.
- human VEGF-D shows the alignment of the human VEGF-D sequence with the sequences of other members of the VEGF family of growth factors, namely human VEGF 165 (hVEGF 165 ), human VEGF-B (hVEGF-B), human VEGF-C (hVEGF-C) and human Placental Growth Factor (hPlGF).
- human VEGF-D is found to be 31% identical in amino acid sequence to human VEGF 165 , 28% identical to human VEGF-B, 48% identical to VEGF-C and 32% identical to human PlGF.
- VEGF-C is the member of this family which is most closely related to VEGF-D.
- mice VEGF-D1 and VEGF-D2 The differences in sequence for mouse VEGF-D1 and VEGF-D2 most probably arise from differential mRNA splicing.
- the C-terminal 41 amino acid residues of VEGF-D1 are deleted in VEGF-D2, and are replaced with 9 residues which are not closely related to the VEGF-D1 sequence. Therefore 4 cysteine residues present near the C-terminus of VEGF-D1 are deleted in VEGF-D2.
- This change may alter the tertiary or quaternary structures of the protein, or may affect the localization of the protein in the cell or the extracellular environment.
- the C-terminal end of human VEGF-D resembles that of mouse VEGF-D1, not mouse VEGF-D2.
- the small 5 amino acid insertion after residue 30 in mouse VEGF-D1, which is not present in either mouse VEGF-D2 or human VEGF-D may influence proteolytic processing of the protein.
- VEGF-D is highly conserved between mouse and man. Eighty-five percent of the amino acid residues of human VEGF-D are identical in mouse VEGF-D1. This is likely to reflect conservation of protein function. Putative functions for VEGF-D have been proposed herein. Although we have not found alternative forms of human VEGF-D cDNA, it is possible that the RNA splice variation which gives rise to numerous forms of mRNA for mouse VEGF-D may also occur in human tissues.
- a fragment of the human cDNA for VEGF-D spanning from nucleotide 1 to 1520 of the sequence shown in FIG. 4 and containing the entire coding region, was inserted into the mammalian expression vector pCDNA1-amp.
- the vector was used to transiently transfect COS cells by the DEAE-Dextran method as described previously (Aruffo and Seed, 1987) and the resulting conditioned cell culture media, collected after 7 days of incubation, were concentrated using Amicon concentrators (Centricon 10 with a 10,000 molecular weight cut off) according to the manufacturer.
- the plasmids used for transfections were the expression construct for human VEGF-D and, as positive control, a construct made by insertion of mouse VEGF-A cDNA into pCDNA1-amp.
- the conditioned media were tested in two different bioassays, as described below, and the results demonstrate that the COS cells did in fact express and secrete biologically-active VEGF-D.
- VEGF-D is closely related in primary structure to other members of the VEGF family. Most members of this protein family are mitogenic and/or chemotactic for endothelial cells (Keck et al, 1989; Leung et al, 1989; Joukov, et al, 1996; Olofsson et al, 1996 ).
- VEGF-A previously known as VEGF
- VEGF the first member of the VEGF family to be described in the literature, is a potent inducer of vascular permeability (Keck et al, 1989).
- protein structure is an important determinant of protein function, it seemed likely that VEGF-D might also be mitogenic for endothelial cells or induce vascular permeability.
- VEGF-D was tested in a bioassay for its capacity to bind to VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR2; also known as Flk-1), an endothelial cell-specific receptor which, when activated by VEGF-A, is thought to give rise to a mitogenic signal (Strawn et al, 1996).
- VFGFR2 also known as Flk-1
- Flk-1 Flk-1
- a bioassay for detection of growth factors which bind to VEGFR2 has been developed in the factor-dependent cell line Ba/F3, and is described in our earlier patent application, No. PCT/US95/16755. These cells grow in the presence of interleukin-3 (IL-3); however removal of this factor results in cell death within 48 hours. If another receptor capable of delivering a growth stimulus is transfected into the Ba/F3 cells, the cells can be rescued by the specific growth factor which activates that receptor when the cells are grown in medium lacking IL-3. In the specific case of receptor-type tyrosine kinases (eg.
- VEGFR2 chimeric receptors containing the extracellular domain of the receptor tyrosine kinase and the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of the erythropoietin receptor (EpoR) can be utilize.
- EpoR erythropoietin receptor
- stimulation with the ligand eg. VEGF
- the ligand eg. VEGF
- VEGF binds to the extracellular domain of the chimeric receptor
- the construction of the chimeric receptor used in this study consisting of the mouse VEGFR2 extracellular domain and the mouse EpoR transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains, and the bioassay itself are described below.
- Single stranded UTP+DNA was generated using the M13 origin of replication, and this was used as a template to generate mouse VEGFR2 cDNA containing the BglII site at the desired position.
- the plasmid containing the altered VEGFR2 cDNA was designated pVEGFR2Bgl.
- DNA fragments encoding the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of any receptor can be inserted at the BglII site of pVEGFR2Bgl in order to generate chimeric VEGFR2 receptors.
- the mouse EpoR cDNA was subcloned into the expression vector pCDNA1-amp, and single stranded DNA was generated as a template for mutagenesis.
- a BglII restriction enzyme site was inserted into the EpoR cDNA at the position encoding the junction of the transmembrane and extracellular domains of the EpoR to allow direct ligation of this DNA fragment to the modified cDNA encoding the extracellular domain of VEGFR2 in pVEGFR2Bgl.
- a BglII site in the cytoplasmic domain of the EpoR was removed by a silent single nucleotide substitution.
- EpoR The DNA fragment encoding the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of EpoR was then used to replace the portion of pVEGFR2Bgl encoding the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of VEGFR2.
- a single reading frame was generated which encoded the chimeric receptor consisting of the VEGFR2 extracellular domain and the EpoR transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains.
- the DNA fragment encoding the chimeric receptor was subcloned into the expression vector PBOS, and co-transfected into the Ba/F3 cell line with plasmid pgk-neo at a ratio of 1:20.
- Cells expressing the VEGFR2-EpoR protein were selected by flow cytometry analysis using a monoclonal antibody to the VEGFR2 extracellular domain (MAb 4H3). This monoclonal antibody is described in Australian Patent Application No. PM 3794 filed Feb. 10, 1994.
- Cell lines expressing higher levels of VEGFR2-EpoR were selected by growing the cells in 5 ⁇ g/ml MAb 4H3 or 25 ng/ml of recombinant VEGF.
- the Ba/F3-NYK-EpoR cells described above were washed three times in PBS to remove all IL-3 and resuspended at a concentration of 1000 cells per 13.5 ⁇ l of culture medium and 13.5 ⁇ l was aliquoted per well of a 60-well Terasaki plate. Conditioned media from transfected COS cells were then diluted into the cell culture medium. Cells expressing a chimeric receptor consisting of the extracellular domain of the endothelial cell receptor Tie2 and the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of EpoR were used as a non-responding control cell line.
- the conditioned medium from COS cells which had been transiently transfected with expression plasmids was concentrated 30-fold and used in the VEGFR2 bioassay. Concentrated conditioned medium from COS cells transfected with pCDNA1-amp was used as negative control.
- Human VEGF-D prepared as in Example 6 and concentrated 30-fold, was tested in the Miles vascular permeability assay (Miles and Miles, 1952) performed in anaesthetized guinea pigs (albino/white, 300-400 g). Concentrated conditioned medium for COS cells transfected with pCDNA1-amp was again used as a negative control. Guinea pigs were anaesthetized with chloral-hydrate (3.6 g/100 ml; 0.1 ml per 10 g of body weight). The backs of the animals were then carefully shaved with clippers.
- Animals were given an intracardiac injection of Evans Blue dye (0.5% in MT PBS, 0.5 ml) using a 23G needle, and were then injected intra-dermally with 100-150 ⁇ l of concentrated COS cell-conditioned medium. After 15-20 min the animals were sacrificed and the layer of skin on the back excised to expose the underlying blood vessels. For quantitation, the area of each injection was excised and heated to 456° C. in 2-5 ml of formamide. The resulting supernatants, containing extravasated dye, were then examined spectrophotometrically at 620 nm.
- the absorbance at 620 nm arising from injection of 30-fold concentrated VEGF-A conditioned medium was 0.178, that for the 30-fold concentrated VEGF-D conditioned medium was 0.114, and that for 30-fold concentrated medium from cells transfected with pCDNA1-amp was 0.004.
- the 30-fold concentrated media were diluted 4-fold in cell culture medium before intra-dermal injection.
- the absorbance at 620 nm for the VEGF-A conditioned sample was 0.141, that for the VEGF-D conditioned sample was 0.116 and that for a sample matched for serum content as negative control was 0.017.
- the enhanced extravazation of dye observed for both animals in the presence of VEGF-A or VEGF-D demonstrated that both of these proteins strongly induced vascular permeability.
- VEGF-D is a secreted protein which, like VEGF-A, binds to and activates VEGFR2 and can induce vascular permeability.
- the deduced amino acid sequence for VEGF-D includes a central region which is similar in sequence to all other members of the VEGF family (approximately residues 101 to 196 of the human VEGF-D amino acid sequence as shown in the alignment in FIG. 10 ). Therefore, it was thought that the bioactive portion of VEGF-D might reside in the conserved region. In order to test this hypothesis, the biosynthesis of VEGF-D was studied, and the conserved region of human VEGF-D was expressed in mammalian cells, purified, and tested in bioassays as described below.
- the pEFBOSSFLAG vector contains DNA encoding the signal sequence for protein secretion from the interleukin-3 (IL-3) gene and the FLAGTM octapeptide.
- the FLAGTM octapeptide can be recognized by commercially available antibodies such as the M2 monoclonal antibody (IBI/Kodak).
- the VEGF-D PCR fragment was inserted into the vector such that the IL-3 signal sequence was immediately upstream from the FLAGTM sequence, which was in turn immediately upstream from the VEGF-D sequence. All three sequences were in the same reading frame, so that translation of mRNA resulting from transfection of pEFBOSVEGFD ⁇ N ⁇ C into mammalian cells would give rise to a protein which would have the IL-3 signal sequence at its N-terminus, followed by the FLAGTM octapeptide and the VEGF-D sequence.
- VEGFD ⁇ N ⁇ C VEGF-D polypeptide which is tagged with the FLAGTM octapeptide adjacent to the N-terminus. This protein was designated VEGFD ⁇ N ⁇ C.
- a second plasmid was constructed, designated pEFBOSVEGFDfullFLAG, in which the full-length coding sequence of human VEGF-D was inserted into pEFBOSIFLAG such that the sequence for the FLAGTM octapeptide was immediately downstream from, and in the same reading frame as, the coding sequence of VEGF-D.
- the plasmid PEFBOSIFLAG lacks the IL-3 signal sequence, so secretion of the VEGF-D/FLAG fusion protein was driven by the signal sequence of VEGF-D.
- pEFBOSVEGFDfullFLAG was designed to drive expression in mammalian cells of full-length VEGF-D which was C-terminally tagged with the FLAGTM octapeptide. This protein is designated VEGFDfullFLAG, and is useful for the study of VEGF-D biosynthesis.
- VEGF-D vascular endothelial growth factor-D
- pEFBOSVEGFDfullFLAG was transiently transfected into COS cells (Aruffo and Seed, 1987).
- Expression in COS cells followed by biosynthetic labeling with 35 S-methionine/cysteine and immunoprecipitation with M2 gel has demonstrated species of approximately 43 kD (fA) and 25 kD(fB) (FIG. 12 A). These bands are consistent with the notion that VEGF-D is cleaved to give a C-terminal fragment (FLAGTM tagged) and an internal peptide (corresponding approximately to the VEGFD ⁇ N ⁇ C protein). Reduction of the immunoprecipitates (M2*) gives some reduction of the fA band, indicating the potential for disulfide linkage between the two fragments.
- Plasmid pEFBOSVEGFD ⁇ N ⁇ C was used to transiently transfect COS cells by the DEAE-Dextran method as described previously (Aruffo and Seed, 1987).
- the resulting conditioned cell culture medium (approximately 150 ml), collected after 7 days of incubation, was subjected to affinity chromatography using a resin to which the M2 monoclonal antibody had been coupled.
- the medium was run batch-wise over a 1 ml M2 antibody column for approximately 4 hours at 4° C. The column was then washed extensively with 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl before elution with free FLAGTM peptide at 25 ⁇ g/ml in the same buffer.
- the resulting material was used for the bioassays described below.
- fractions eluted from the M2 affinity column were subjected to Western blot analysis. Aliquots of the column fractions were combined with 2 ⁇ SDS-PAGE sample buffer, boiled and loaded onto a 15% SDS polyacrylamide gel. The resolved fractions were transferred to nitrocellulose membrane and non-specific binding sites blocked by incubation in Tris/NaCl/Tween 20 (TST) and 10% skim milk powder (BLOTTO). Membranes were then incubated with monoclonal antibody M2 or control antibody at 3 ⁇ g/ml for 2 h at room temperature, followed by extensive washing in TST.
- TST Tris/NaCl/Tween 20
- BLOTTO 10% skim milk powder
- Membranes were then incubated with a secondary goat anti-mouse HRP-conjugated antiserum for 1 h at room temperature, followed by washing in TST buffer. Detection of the protein species was achieved using a chemiluminescent reagent (ECL, Amersham) (FIG. 12 B).
- VEGFD ⁇ N ⁇ C a species of molecular weight approximately 23 kD (VEGFD ⁇ N ⁇ C) was detected by the M2 antibody. This is consistent with the predicted molecular weight for this internal fragment (12,800) plus N-linked glycosylation; VEGFD ⁇ N ⁇ C contains two potential N-linked glycosylation sites. A species of approximately 40 kD was also detected, and may represent a non-covalent dimer of the 23 kD protein (VEGFD ⁇ N ⁇ C).
- VEGFD ⁇ N ⁇ C The vascular permeability assay (Miles and Miles, 1952) is described in brief in example 8. Aliquots of purified VEGFD ⁇ N ⁇ C, and samples of the void volume from the M2 affinity column (negative control) were combined with medium and injected intradermally into the skin of guinea pigs. The regions of skin at the sites of injections were excised, and extravasated dye was eluted. The absorbance of the extravasated dye at 620 nm arising from injection of purified VEGFD ⁇ N ⁇ C was 0.131 ⁇ 0.009. In comparison, the value for absorbance arising from injection of a sample of the void volume was 0.092 ⁇ 0.020. Therefore VEGFD ⁇ N ⁇ C induced vascular permeability, but the effect was only marginal.
- VEGF-D ⁇ N ⁇ C may be said to relatively decrease the induction of vascular permeability by VEGF-D through competitive inhibition.
- the VEGF-D ⁇ N ⁇ C fragment may be thought of as an antagonist for VEGF-D as regards the induction of vascular permeability.
- VEGF-D internal fragments of VEGF-D for enhanced activity. Firstly, it is the central region of VEGF-D which exhibits amino acid homology with all other members of the VEGF family. Secondly, proteolytic processing which gives rise to internal bioactive polypeptides occurs for other growth factors such as PDGF-BB. In addition, the activity seen with the full length VEGF-D protein in COS cells was lower than for the corresponding conditioned medium from VEGF-A transfected COS cells.
- VEGF-DfullFLAG expressed in COS cells produced species consistent with the internal proteolytic cleavage of the VEGF-D polypeptide at these sites. Therefore a truncated form of VEGF-D, with the N-and C-terminal regions removed (VEGFD ⁇ N ⁇ C), was produced and expressed in COS cells. This protein was identified and purified using the M2 antibody.
- VEGFD ⁇ N ⁇ C protein was also detected by the A2 antibody, which recognizes a peptide within the 92-205 fragment of VEGF-D (not shown).
- VEGFD ⁇ N ⁇ C was evaluated by the VEGFR2 bioassay and the Miles vascular permeability assay, and shown to bind to and activate the VEGFR2 receptor in a bioassay designed to detect cross-linking of the VEGFR2 extracellular domain. Induction of vascular permeability by this polypeptide in a Miles assay was at best marginal, in contrast to the effect of VEGF-A.
- VEGF-D Binds to and Activates VEGFR-3
- the human VEGF-D cDNA was cloned into baculovirus shuttle vectors for the production of recombinant VEGF-D.
- baculoviral shuttle vectors which contained the unmodified VEGF-D cDNA (referred to as “full length VEGF-D”) two baculoviral shuttle vectors were assembled, in which the VEGF-D cDNA was modified in the following ways.
- VEGF-D-H 6 full length VEGF-D-H 6
- putative N- and C-terminal propeptides were removed, the melittin signal peptide was fused in-frame to the N-terminus, and a histidine tag was added to the C-terminus of the remaining VEGF homology domain (referred to as “ ⁇ N ⁇ c-MELsp-VEGF-D-H 6 ”).
- baculoviral clones of two or three independent transfections were amplified.
- the supernatant of High Five (HF) cells was harvested 48 h post infection with high titre virus stocks.
- the supernatant was adjusted to pH 7 with NaOH and diluted with one volume of D-MEM (0.2% FCS).
- the samples were tested for their ability to stimulate tyrosine phosphorylation of VEGFR-3 (Flt4 receptor) on NIH3T3 cells, as described by Joukov et al, 1996.
- VEGF-C modified in the same way as ⁇ N ⁇ C-melSP-VEGF-D-H 6 was used as positive control. The results are shown in FIG. 14 .
- VEGF-D Binds to and Activates VEGFR-2
- VEGF-D cDNA was cloned into baculovirus shuttle vectors for the production of recombinant VEGF-D as described in Example 10.
- baculoviral clones of two or three independent transfections were amplified.
- the supernatant of High Five (HF) cells was harvested 48 hours post infection with high titre virus stocks.
- the supernatant was adjusted to pH 7 with NaOH and diluted with one volume of D-MEM (0.2% FCS).
- KDR is the human homolog of flk1 (VEGFR-2).
- VEGF 165 and VEGF-C modified in the same way as ⁇ N ⁇ C-melSP-VEGF-D-H 6 were used as positive controls. The results are shown in FIG. 15 .
- VEGF-D cDNAs were used as hybridization probes for Northern blot analysis of polyadenylated human RNA and for in situ hybridization analysis with mouse embryos.
- a 1.1 kb fragment of the human VEGF-D cDNA shown in FIG. 4 (SEQ ID NO: 4) spanning from the EcoRV site to the 3′-terminus (nucleotides 911 to 2029) was labeled with [ ⁇ - 32 P] dATP using the Megaprime DNA labeling system (Amersham) according to manufacturer's instructions.
- This probe was used to screen human multiple tissue northern blots (Clontech) by hybridization, also according to manufacturer's instructions. These blots contained polyadenylated RNA obtained from tissues of adult humans who were apparently free of disease. Autoradiography with the labeled blots revealed that VEGF-D mRNA was most abundant in heart, lung and skeletal muscle.
- VEGF-D mRNA was of intermediate abundance in spleen, ovary, small intestine and colon, and was of low abundance in kidney, pancreas, thymus, prostate and testis. No VEGF-D mRNA was detected in RNA from brain, placenta, liver or peripheral blood leukocytes. In most of the tissues where VEGF-D mRNA was detected the size of the transcript was 2.3 kb. The only exception was skeletal muscle, where two VEGF-D transcripts of 2.3 kb and 2.8 kb were detected. In skeletal muscle the 2.3 kb transcript was more abundant than the 2.8 kb transcript.
- mouse VEGF-D2 cDNA shown in FIG. 7 was inserted into the transcription vector pBluescriptIIKS+ (Stratagene).
- the resulting plasmid was digested to completion with the restriction endonuclease FokI and then used as template for an in vitro transcription reaction with T3 RNA polymerase.
- This transcription reaction gave rise to an antisense RNA probe for VEGF-D mRNA which was complementary in sequence to the region of the VEGF-D2 cDNA (FIG.
- VEGF-D mRNA is localized in the developing lung of post-coital day 15.5 embryos.
- the signal for VEGF-D MRNA in the lung was strong and highly specific. Control hybridizations with sense probe gave no detectable background in lung or any other tissue.
- the VEGF-D gene is broadly expressed in the adult human, but is certainly not ubiquitously expressed. Strongest expression was detected in heart, lung and skeletal muscle. In mouse embryos at post-coital day 15.5, strong and specific expression of the VEGF-D gene was detected in the lung. These data suggest that VEGF-D may play a role in lung development, and that expression of the VEGF-D gene in lung persists in the adult, at least in humans. Expression of the gene in other tissues in the adult human suggests that VEGF-D may fulfill other functions in other adult tissues.

- this protein was expressed and purified by affinity chromatography as described in Example 9.
- Fraction #3 eluted from the M2 affinity column, which contained VEGFD ⁇ N ⁇ C, was diluted 1 in 10 in cell culture medium containing 5% serum and applied to bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEs) which had been propagated in medium containing 10% serum.
- BAEs bovine aortic endothelial cells
- the BAEs had been seeded in 24-well dishes at a density of 10,000 cells per well the day before addition of VEGFD ⁇ N ⁇ C, and 3 days after addition of this polypeptide the cells were dissociated with trypsin and counted.
- Purified VEGF-A was included in the experiment as positive control. Results are shown in FIG. 16 .
- the addition of fraction #3 to the cell culture medium led to a 2.4-fold increase in the number of BAEs after 3 days of incubation, a result which was comparable to that obtained with VEGF-A.
- VEGFD ⁇ N ⁇ C is mitogenic for endothelial cells.
- a 2human genomic DNA clone for VEGF-D was isolated from a human genomic DNA library (Clontech). The genomic library was screened by hybridization with the human VEGF-D cDNA shown in FIG. 4, using standard methods (Sambrook et al., 1989). One of the clones thus isolated was shown to contain part of the VEGF-D gene by hybridization to numerous oligonucleotides which were derived in sequence from the human VEGF-D CDNA.
- a region of the genomic clone was purified from agarose gel, labeled by nick-translation with biotin-14-dATP and hybridized in situ at a final concentration of 20 ng/ ⁇ l to metaphases from two normal human males.
- the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) method was modified from that previously described (Callen et al, 1990) in that chromosomes were stained before analysis with propidium iodide (as counterstain) and DAPI (for chromosome identification). Images of metaphase preparations were captured by a cooled CCD camera, using the CytoVision Ultra image collection and enhancement system (Applied Imaging Int. Ltd.). FISH signals and the DAPI banding pattern were merged for analysis.
- the mouse chromosomal location of the VEGF-D gene was determined by interspecific backcross analysis using progeny generated by mating (C57BL/6J ⁇ Mus spretus )F1 females and CB7BL/67 males as described previously (Copeland and Jenkins, 1991). This interspecific backcross mapping panel has been typed for over 2400 loci that are well distributed among all the autosomes as well as the X chromosome (Copeland and Jenkins, 1991). C57BL/6J and M.
- spretus DNAs were digested with several enzymes and analyzed by Southern blot hybridization for informative restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) using a 1.3 kb mouse VEGF-D cDNA probe essentially as described (Jenkins et al. 1982). Fragments of 7.1, 6.3, 4.7, 2.5 and 2.2 kb were detected in TaqI-digested C57BL/6J DNA and major fragments of 7.1, 3.7, 2.7 and 2.2 kb were detected in TagI-digested M. spretus DNA. The presence or absence of the 3.7 and 2.7 TaqI M. spretus -specific fragments, which cosegregated, was followed in backcross mice.
- RFLPs restriction fragment length polymorphisms
- 89 mice were analyzed for every marker, up to 133 mice were typed for some pairs of markers.
- Each locus was analyzed in pairwise combinations for recombination frequencies using the additional data.
- the ratios of the total number of mice exhibiting recombinant chromosomes to the total number of mice analyzed for each pair of loci and the most likely gene order are: centromere—Btk—14/121—DxPasI—3/99—VEGF-D—5/133—Ptmb4.
- Numerous disease states are caused by mutations in unknown genes which have been mapped to Xp22.1 and the positions immediately surrounding this region in the human. These disease states include Kallmann syndrome, ocular albinism (Nettleship-Falls type), ocular albinism and sensorineural deafness, Partington syndrome, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia (late), retinitis pigmentosa 15, gonadal dysgenesis (XY female type), Nance-Horan cataract-dental syndrome, retinoschisis, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, F-cell production, hypomagnesemia, keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans, Coffin-Lowry syndrome, corneal dermoids, hypophosphatemia, agammaglobulinemia, Aicardi symdrome, hereditary hypophosphatemia II, mental retardation (non-dysmorphic), Opitz G syndrome, pigment disorder (reticulate), dosage-sensitive sex
- VEGF-D has similar activities to VEGF in relation to endothelial cell function, angiogenesis and wound healing. Further assays may also be performed, depending on the results of receptor binding distribution studies.
- Endothelial cell growth assays are performed by methods well known in the art, eg. those of Ferrara & Henzel (1989), Gospodarowicz et al (1989), and/or Claffey et al, Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 1995 1246 1-9.

- in vitro and in vivo assays using specific cell populations of the haemopoietic system are known in the art, and are outlined below.
- in vitro murine stem cell assays using fluorescence-activated cell sorter purified cells are particularly convenient:
- VEGF-D is tested on these cells either alone, or by co-incubation with other factors, followed by measurement of cellular proliferation by 3 H-thymidine incorporation.
- VEGF-D is incubated with these cells for a period of time, injected into lethally irradiated recipients, and the number of D13 spleen colonies enumerated.
- VEGF-D can act directly on haemopoietic progenitor cells. VEGF-D is incubated with these cells in agar cultures, and the number of colonies present after 7-14 days is counted.
- Smooth muscle cells play a crucial role in the development or initiation of atherosclerosis, requiring a change of their phenotype from a contractile to a synthetic state. Macrophages, endothelial cells, T lymphocytes and platelets all play a role in the development of atherosclerotic plaques by influencing the growth and phenotypic modulations of smooth muscle cell.
- An in vitro assay using a modified Rose chamber in which different cell types are seeded on to opposite coverslips measures the proliferative rate and phenotypic modulations of smooth muscle cells in a multicellular environment, and is used to assess the effect of VEGF-D on smooth muscle cells.
- VEGF-D The ability of VEGF-D to inhibit metastasis is assayed using the Lewis lung carcinoma model, for example using the method of Cao et al (1995).

- VEGF-D is a member of the PDGF family of growth factors which exhibits a high degree of homology to the other members of the PDGF family.
- VEGF-D contains eight conserved cysteine residues which are characteristic of this family of growth factors. These conserved cysteine residues form intra-chain disulfide bonds which produce the cysteine knot structure, and inter-chain disulfide bonds that form the protein dimers which are characteristic of members of the PDGF family of growth factors.
- VEGF-D will interact with protein tyrosine kinase growth factor receptors.

Chem., 1992 267 11260-1266; Oefner et al, EMBO J., 1992 11 3921-3926; Flemming et al, Molecular and Cell Biol., 1993 13 4066-4076 and Andersson et al, Growth Factors, 1995 12 159-164; and for VEGF: Kim et al, Growth Factors, 1992 7 53-64; Pötgens et al, J. Biol.
- VEGF-D mutants with a very high probability of retaining VEGF-D activity by conserving the eight cysteine residues responsible for the knotted folding arrangement and for dimerization, and also by conserving, or making only conservative amino acid substitutions in the likely receptor sequences in the loop 1, loop 2 and loop 3 region of the protein structure.
- VEGF-D mutants can be readily confirmed by well established screening procedures. For example, a procedure analogous to the endothelial cell mitotic assay described by Claffey et al, (Biochim. Biophys. Acta., 1995 1246 1-9) can be used. Similarly the effects of VEGF-D on proliferation of other cell types, on cellular differentiation and on human metastasis can be tested using methods which are well known in the art.
